MILITARY INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING -- #JL28X
ISA FORCES AND THEIR PROBABLE TARGETS
Latest Intelligence suggests that the ISA fleet is prepared to deploy approximately 180,000 ground troops in Pyrrhus, with a further 70,000 support troops.
The principal means of deployment is likely to be via airborne Intruder. If and when a beachhead is established, hardware support in the form of jeeps and APCs will be delivered to theatre, together with tanks and other heavy armour. This is believed to include advanced experimental weaponry.
At 800,000 men, the Helghast First Army significantly outnumbers these forces.
However, they will be forced to fight on several fronts and to defend a large number of strategic targets. These include key production facilities such as Corinthmetall and the Pyrrhus refinery, weapons depots (primarily Stahl Arms warehouses) and command centres. They will also be vulnerable to air attacks by the ISA fleet.
This makes the maintenance of the city's Arc Battery defences of critical importance.
ADDENDUM
Having breached our Arc defences, the ISA established a beachhead at Corinth River, seizing Stahl Arms warehouse. From there they advanced on Visari Square. They have since crossed Salamun Bridge and destroyed the power station in that district.
Their forces then raided the Radec Academy, no doubt hoping to Colonel Radec himself. Fortunately the Colonel was already at Visari Palace, organising the defence of the city's inner circle.
Our main forces are now concentrated there, with further units defending the refinery to assure the supply of Petrusite to remaining Arc Cannons.
